I adore war. It is like a big picnic. I have
never been so well or so happy. Nobody grumbles about being
dirty. Ihave only had my boots off once in the last ten days
and only washed twice.
A British soldier writing in early August 1914.

I hate all this business from the bottom of my soul. It has turned
a beautiful country into a wasteland. All this area is one vast
cemetery. It has riobbed thousands and thousands of men of life.
Lieutenant Edward Chapman writing in August 1916.
